With the actual expense of hunting in SC (Lease, Corn, etc) You can take a couple trips to the mid - west or even out west and have a lot better hunt, IMO. That's hunting private lease or public. I took an old friend of mine this past year with me to Kentucky and he said he's seen more bucks, with more grunting / chasing / sparing in 5 days of hunting than he has in the past 10 years of hunting SC. We lease ~700 acres (between 6 farms with 10 members and a cabin), with a small WMA nearby for 2K a person. But we've been leasing this for 13 years.
